I never said they didn't! There were a lot of people over on the other thread dissing what these guys did, but they had a whole convoy to protect, not just this a-hole's truck. The worst of all possible scenarios happened and if people like him and those on the other thread can't figure out you move the rest of the convoy out of the 'kill zone' FIRST, then they're no better than this guy.

It doesn't take a genious to figure out it out. If your family is caught in a storm of bullets and your wife is shot down are you going to stand there with your kids to fight or are you going to grab you kids and get the hell out of there, and then come back. Hopefully with a few cops on the way with you.

Stuff happens and there are huge risks in running convoy over there. This guy wants to make this into a big deal, but....BUT they all know the rules, the risks, and how things are going to go down if the worst happens. Wasn't this guy paying attention in class?

Things he had to consider was they disabled the trucks, the number of the enemy, and was there an IED buried along the roadside(might be why the moved away from the area)? I am sorry this guy went through what he did and people died, but decisions had to be made. If the ambush was over a roadside bomb and they didn't move away, they would ALL be dead.
